I checked and that same group did several cover songs on the occasion of her 12th birthday. Fantastic stuff.

Glenn Hughes is a monster vocalist who also happens to play bass.
The combo of him and Coverdale in that line up was awesome.
Personally Gillan never did it for me.
He's a bit like Plant or Roth, considered great vocalists but where they really that or just really good frontmen?
Roth I think was after his time.
Great crooner and if born a few decades earlier would definitely fit in with The Rat Pack in every way.
